ECOSYSTEM INTELLIGENCE (EI) SCREENING MODULE

Identify likely performance gaps to inform budgeting and design scope.

Researching a single measure used to take several weeks. With the Ecosystem Intelligence (EI) platform, you can understand a wide range of ecosystem services in seconds. Getting up and running couldn’t be easier. Set up your site boundaries with just a few clicks—no design graphics or drawings required.

  • Leverage pre-defined landcover and reference benchmark performance scores to understand how sites like yours typically perform in your biome.

  • Determine how many acres of intervention are needed to close performance gaps.

  • Toggle between scenarios to evaluate design impacts and benefits compared to typical reference conditions.

Tuned to local conditions.

EI automatically provides reference benchmarks based on a global dataset of field-collected typical data. Each landcover type and intervention is automatically tailored to your site’s designated realm and biome.

The EI reference data covers biomes from around the world—and it grows more complete over time.

Example Land Cover Types

  • Agricultural field

  • Brush/scrub-shrub

  • Building

  • Grassland/meadow

  • Paved surface

Example Interventions

  • Bioretention pond

  • Bioswale

No ecology degree needed.

Users of all skill levels can understand general baseline conditions in comparison to biome-tuned performance benchmarks, explore cost-benefit conversations, and generate visual reports on generalized ecosystem performance. To help users get the most from the platform—and the outputs they generate—we also offer guided training and certification.
